lmao. Sorry, I was reading this and initially got a totally different vibe than (I hope) was intended: you're tired, don't tell anyone where you're going, just come with me to a place no one knows about where they won't be able to find you and I can help you 'sleep' .... - signed, local serial killer

…is that not what this is? Or a suicide pact? I’m very much getting a Don’t Fear the Reaper vibe.

cummings often manages a balance between cryptic and intimate, between playful and deep.
I’d never before read this particular piece; it’s beautiful.

I remember studying ee cummings in high school. Our teacher thought he was a hack. Later I learned that my teach was Will Shakespeare and he time traveled to try to revive the sonnet.
